24、an, is now seriously threatened, with only 10 native speakers left，” said lead study author Tatsuya Amano at the University of Cambridge in England. The scientists found that 25 percent of the worlds languages are threatened. After identifying where the endangered languages were, they looked for any
25、 environmental and social or economic factors those languages might have in common, such as rugged terrain or rapid population growth. “We found that at the global scale, language speaker declines are strongly linked to economic growththat is, declines are particularly occurring in economically deve
26、loped regions，” Amano said. One important implication of this new study “is that languages in the tropics and Himalayan region are likely to be increasingly threatened in the near future, because these regions still have many local indigenous languages (土语) with a small number of speakers, and at th
27、e same time are experiencing rapid economic growth，” Amano said. Economic growth may endanger languages for a variety of reasons. For instance, speakers of endangered languages may view another more dominant language as offering economic opportunities, and thus forego their own languages. There are
28、other important factors that might endanger languages, the researchers said. For instance, policies regarding how languages are used and taught in schools can be very different among countries and even within each country, and these factors may explain more detailed patterns in language endangerment
29、.Amano suggested it could be possible to forecast future threats to linguistic diversity. “There exists detailed information on projected future changes in the environment, economies and climates，” Amano said. “Using such information, together with the findings of this study and further analysis, we

32、ine of the population.CThe development of economy.DThe improvement of the environment.答案：C细节理解题。由文章第二段最后一句中的“. declines are particularly occurring in economically developed regions”可推知，经济的发展最可能引起语言的衰败，也就是使得语言濒临灭绝。7The writer shows us the reasons that languages are endangered by _.Aoffering some exam
33、plesBperforming some experimentsCtelling some interesting storiesDmaking a list of important facts答案：A推理判断题。文章第四段提到语言濒临灭绝的原因，为了说明这一点，该段两次引用了事例，由此可知A项为最佳答案。8It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _.Athe study is very important to languagesBworlds languages are developing rapidlyCit is rather

37、用现在进行时。2第二句：anythingsomething考查代词。anything用于否定句或一般疑问句，something用于肯定句，此处是肯定句，用something。3第三句：LocatingLocated考查非谓语动词。Canada与locate之间是被动关系，用过去分词作状语。4第三句：largelargest考查形容词的最高级。根据句意可知应用large的最高级形式。5第四句：liveslive考查主谓一致。The majority of作主语时，谓语动词与后接的名词在数上一致，people是复数，谓语动词也应是复数形式。6第五句：chosechoose考查虚拟语气。suggest后接宾语从句时，谓语动词用虚拟语气，即should动词原形，should可省略。7第五句：herethere考查副词。那儿有许多留学生，用there。8第六句：去掉the考查固定搭配。take part in意为“参加”，是固定搭配。9第六句：countrycountries考查名词。此处国家不止一个，故country要用复数形式。10第七句：will后加be考查句子结构。分析句子结构，句中缺少谓语动词，will后接动词原形，构成一般将来时态。
